I have no sketches from the festival itself. It was soooo
hot that day that I didn’t actually stay there long – just long enough to buy a
new necklace and some t-shirts from Taropop, and an adorable
little purse from Texstyle, and to eat some empanadas, and then go back and eat
more empanadas.

I spent most of the day at Shannon’s and Brian’s, drinking their coffee, eating their food, and hanging out on their porch talking to everyone who stopped by. It was a great day.

What a great Studio Night! I prepped for my upcoming class, organized my sketching supplies, cleaned out a fountain pen, started a new tiny watercolor, and sketched my studio! And watched more of season 3 of Gilmore Girls and did some laundry!

I didn't work on my oil paintings, but I also didn't stress out about it - I've got one in progress and I know which one I'm going to work on next, so I am all set!

I made this during the last time that I was teaching Fast
Sketching at Flicker Street Studio. I get so inspired as I show students work
by sketchers from all over the world!

I’ll be teaching at Flicker Street again later this month
– October 13 – November 3 (four classes total). In the class, Oil Painting from
Photos & Sketches, we’ll explore composition and basic oil painting
techniques, and each student will make a painting based on a photo or sketch of
their choosing. Click here to sign up!
